Barry Fenton (Baz) presents a diverse exhibition discussing why art matters.

Works using posters, LED and more discuss around current world matters and legends who have left us.

Baz "... I live permanently on Waiheke, and love walking Waiheke with my best mate 'Teddy'

I believe ART MATTERS and love the Picasso quote "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"

I'm a strictly amateur artist with no particular style, and most of my art is for myself or charity events.

I love doing mixed media... Robert Rauschenberg is my favourite artist.

I love abstracts in oils... and am a real Rothko fan.

Love graffiti and Banksy... and spent a few years exclusively doing graffiti.

Love NEON and LED.

I really enjoy creating outdoor installations...and am inspired by Andy Goldsworthy.

This series of works came about as a result of my love of NEON/LED and appealing posters. I have been doing these for a few years for charity art shows on Waiheke and they have been very popular... selling over 50 pieces. If a piece you like has been sold then you can commission another one... they are not one-off pieces..."

Proceeds go to "Project Reach Out Waiheke", a charitable trust with the vision, "Enabling the wellbeing of people on Waiheke who have a diagnosed mental illness".
